Ronald M Martin fishing at Sebastan Inlet, back when their was plentiful fish in Indian River. This was a normal sized catch. Sometimes they caught huge fish. Grandpa would leave extra, un-needed fish on his back porch, where NDNs would retrieve them, and in return, they would leave him on his back porch, smoked coots/fish, fruits, and other foods. He knew the local NDNs in Vero Beach and could converse with them.
